FactHaval kept selling the original Big Dog alongside this bigger, pricier one rather than replacing it.
The second-generation Haval Big Dog, sold as the Haval H7 in Australia and South Africa and as the Dargo X in some markets, is a larger and more expensive SUV than the original Big Dog, which continues alongside it. It was previewed as the H-Dog PHEV at the 2022 Guangzhou Auto Show and is built on the L.E.M.O.N. platform in Tianjin and Tula, Russia. The plug-in hybrid pairs a 1.5-litre turbo with a two-speed DHT and BorgWarner four-wheel drive with two differential locks; the petrol version has a 2.0-litre turbo and a nine-speed dual-clutch, with front- or four-wheel drive. Export markets also get a 1.5-litre turbo hybrid.

Every Big Dog color and trim is named after a dog breed — it runs from the entry "Husky" all the way up to the flagship "Belgian Shepherd."
Rivals
